For background, a union is an organization of workers who decide to negotiate with their employer or employers collectively with the goal of better wages and working conditions. When workers form a union, many interesting issues like income inequality, power imbalances in negotiations, and changing costs of production arise. Union participation in the U.S. used to be much higher than it is today.

Your task for this assignment is:

1. Watch the video. ( A link is posted at the bottom of this page.)

2. Post in the discussion forum by sharing some your views on unions, both in general and for the union characterized in the video.Some issues you might address are:

What are some benefits of unions? What are some costs associated with unions? Do you have personal experience with unions? Why do you think union participation is lower today than it was in the past? Would you like to be a member of a union or would you prefer to negotiate individually? Why do you think businesses often try to stop workers from unionizing?
